Free New Goodies From PBwiki
I got an email from PBwiki and figured this would be a good place to share. If you don't know, PBwiki offers ad-free wiki hosting for educators.

They are offering PBwiki Presenter Packs. So, if you're giving a presentation about wikis, they will ship you a free PBwiki t-shirt, an easy-to-read PDF about wikis, a Powerpoint with pictures of real PBwiki users, and 3 FREE Gold Premium wikis to give out to your audience.
They have also posted, self proclaimed, the coolest videos in the world. They filmed real educators using PBwiki and asked the questions: what they like, what they can improve, and common concerns. They have posted 7 videos, including:
How do you use PBwiki?
Is PBwiki safe?
How does collaboration work?

Hi Aaron
I have a PB wiki account and it looks good. I do need to go back and spend some quality time looking into it, particularly the Is 'PB wiki safe?' article. I have just been reading the blog on to host or not to host and the issues around what we in the UK call eSafety. I am of the same opinion as nLowell that we need to empower and equip young people to stay safe in the e environment. PB Wiki seems to offer this.
I dont know about you I came across PB Wiki on Googles Educators forum. We do need to have some of these 'big boys' to create quality educational wikis and blogs but to also create a much safer environment too.

I agree we need to train kids how to stay safe. But I will also add, we need to train them how to handle criticisms. If they are writing to a world wide audience, people are going to disagree. Especially when they are hiding behind a keyboard.
